Aussie car website Caradvice.com.au has announced a new CEO.

Former commercial director Justin Whelan (pictured) will take on the role from David Holmes, who is resigning to focus on other business interests, including a soon-to-be-announced start-up in the peer-to-peer commerce space.

Whelan has been with Caradvice.com.au for three years.

Adrian Roche, Caradvice.com.au chairman, said: “David has done an outstanding job of commercialising the business over the past four years with phenomenal year on year growth during his tenure.

“David and Justin have been working on this transition for some time, and the future of the business is very exciting. We thank David for his efforts to date and congratulate Justin on his promotion.”
